Blackwell Architecture

Nvidia is reportedly developing a new AI chip, the B30A, for China, aiming to outperform its current H20 offering while complying with US export controls. Utilizing its Blackwell architecture with a single-die design, the B30A is expected to have roughly half the performance of the B300. Nvidia is also purportedly creating an RTX6000D chip for AI inference in China. These moves reflect Nvidia’s strategy to maintain a presence in the critical Chinese market amid US-China trade tensions and regulatory scrutiny. Samples of the B30A may be sent next month.

At Computex 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang repositioned the company as an AI infrastructure architect, unveiling advancements in consumer GPUs, data center solutions, industrial metaverse tools, and robotics. Key highlights included the Blackwell architecture for AI training/inference and Isaac GR00T N1.5, a foundation model for humanoid robots. Huang emphasized physical AI as the next industrial revolution, citing partnerships with firms like Boston Dynamics and Morgan Stanley’s projection of a $60T humanoid market by 2050. NVIDIA aims to dominate through its full-stack ecosystem, bridging AI models, autonomous systems, and simulation tools to power smart factories and cities. (100 words)
